The Chapman Family - This One's For Love

The best Chapmans moments, such as this single out June 3rd pivot around a rhythm that feels a bit like a spiky post-punk weeble, wobbling around the equilibrium without ever falling over despite the pressure placed on it by guitars swathed in feedback and nervous energy.
